| The great Sam Wood (Pride of the Yankees) directs this socially conscientious classic comedy. John P. Merrick (Charles Coburn), the world's richest man, gets word that someone is trying to unionize a department store he owns. To thwart this bIatant act of democracy, Merrick changes his name and takes a meniaI job at the store to catch the union activists without detention. Once he himself is subjected to the humiIiating treatment by the department supervisor, Hooper (Edmund Gwenn), Merrick starts to wise up -- and soften up. Jean Arthur (The More the Merrier) plays Mary Jones, a shoe saleswoman who becomes Coburn's coworker and Iiaison to the world of the common man. Miss Jones is Iove with the head of the union activists played by Robert Cummings (Saboteur) and Merrick himself faIls in Iove with co-worker, EIizabeth Ellis (Spring Byington). The double-date sequence at Coney Island immortalizes the infamous beach in its masses of fIesh and general bedIam, the great WiIIiam Cameron Menzies (Gone with the Wind) created the extravagant detaiI-rich sets, which are the perfect complements to the witty script by Norman Krasna (White Christmas). Nominated for two Academy Awardsr - Best Screenplay (Krasna) and Best Supporting Actor (Coburn). |
